The 7 Train is (Finally) Approaching Eleventh Avenue

Browse a few high-end homes located near the subway extension on Manhattan’s Far West Side

After years of delays, the 7 train is finally arriving on Manhattan’s Far West Side.

The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) recently announced the subway extension will open by September 13th. The new station will be located at the intersection of 34th Street and Eleventh Avenue. There will be entrances near both 33rd and 35th streets.

Combined with the rezoning of Hudson Yards, a 28-acre redevelopment project that will feature offices, apartments and retail space, the train extension has helped to increase neighborhood home prices.

“Just the talk of the subway has already inched prices up significantly,” said Richard Hicks, a broker with Douglas Elliman who lives in the neighborhood. Hicks expects that grocery stores and commercial space will soon follow, bringing more foot traffic into the area. “Those who bought here now may have to wait out the growth period, but will be very happy in the end,” he said.

Here’s a look at what’s on the market on the Far West Side. These three properties, all listed on Mansion Global, are located within walking distance of the entrances to the 7 train on Eleventh Avenue.
